Terminal Escape Sequences: What You See Is Not What You Get
- dalke 11y agoThe HN guidelines ask the submitter use the original title, which in this case is "Terminal escape sequences – the new XSS for Linux sysadmins". Among other things, preserving the name makes it easier for readers to identify duplicate postings. The same URL, with the original title, was submitted five times 12-13 days ago ( https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Terminal%20escape%20sequences%20%E2%80%93%20the%20new%20XSS%20for%20Linux%20sysadmins&sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=story&prefix=false&page=0 https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Terminal%20escape%20sequences%... ). Only https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10273336 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10273336 has comments, and even then only two. Which you knew because this is the fourth time you submitted this URL. I see that you have made many links to the ma.ttias.be domain, that many of them are duplicate posts, and that you are experimenting with URL tracking. This feels like you are abusing your ability to post to HN. At the very least, it's behavior that I strongly dislike, and don't want to see here.
